These ten figures adorned the medieval organ in the church of Saint Vitus in Naarden. Each figure holds a weapon and a coat of arms on a strap. Some are dressed as knights with a breastplate and a helmet, others as princes or noblemen. They may represent the Counts of Holland. All the shields would have originally been painted.
